# nh3-extdev: cut the system-wide althing install over from v2.1.0 to v3.0.x (U9b flag day; re-run for each release).
#
# nh3-extdev is the one box a `git pull` cannot move: althing lives there as a system WHEEL
# under /opt/uv-tools/althing-core with entry points in /usr/local/bin, installed from a wheel
# that was copied to /tmp -- not from a checkout. So it needs its own install or it goes dark
# at the cutover.
#
# ⚠ Two things about this box that differ from nh3-dev:
#   - the v2 daemons are SYSTEM units here (althing-herald, althing-receiver), not user units.
#   - `uv` is not on lkraven's PATH; it lives at /home/infra-ops/.local/bin/uv. The original
#     install used it under sudo with UV_TOOL_DIR=/opt/uv-tools, per the uv-receipt.toml.
#
# ⚠ There is a live agent session here (ldp-dev) holding a v2 light-monitor. Retiring the v2
# herald does not kill it, but it will never fire again -- that session has to re-arm on
# althing-listen after this. Its handle survives: bare `ldp-dev` is in the authoritative 73;
# only the machine-qualified `ldp-dev@nh3-extdev` was on the legacy exclusion list.
#
# Run:  scripts/elway lkraven@10.100.50.42 --playbook playbooks/nh3-extdev-althing-v3.yaml
# Rerunnable: a second run shows the install and unit steps skipped.
